Dolly Parton and James Ingram - The Day I Fall In Love (1993) 🕊️🕊️

[Yashar Ali 🐘 @yashar]

The way Kenny Rogers’ whole face lights up the moment he hears Dolly Parton’s voice coming from offstage.

I have always loved this performance so much.

This is the story of Mobutu Sese Seko, the brutal dictator installed by the United States of America, defended by France and helped by Belgium to hold the DRC hostage for 3 decades.

[The Biblical Man @Biblicalman]

Jacob got buried next to the wife he never wanted.

Not Rachel. Not the love of his life he cried over and worked fourteen years to get.

Leah. The one he got tricked into marrying in the dark and spent twenty years looking past.

Now watch what God does with her.

Jacob worked seven years for Rachel and it felt like a few days, he loved her that much. Then his father in law swapped the brides in the dark. Worst best man in history. He woke up married to Leah and worked seven more years for the girl he actually wanted.

Here is the line everybody scrolls past.

"And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb."

Hated. In her own house. Second place at her own table, across from a man whose eyes were always parked down the road.

Heaven did not fix it by handing Jacob some feelings. God walked to the exact spot where Leah was rejected and built there. Out of the hated wife came Judah. Out of Judah came the line that ends in a manger. God does His best work in the dirt where you got overlooked.

Rachel, the one everybody wanted, got buried on the side of the road. Leah got laid in the covenant ground with Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebekah. The woman he did not choose is the one God ran His whole rescue through. Heaven does not hold recounts.

If you have spent years being tolerated instead of treasured, that might be the exact soil God builds a legacy in. And if you are the man always reaching for Rachel while you step over the Leah at home, repent, and go love what God actually gave you.

Remembering the late, great Dolly, who brought joy, comfort and inspiration to so many - including the millions of children given free books through her Imagination Library. We will always ❤️ you.

Dolly Parton is dead, and the church never knew what to do with her.

Half my feed is posting rhinestones today. The other half never trusted her, because she would not wear the uniform.

She never preached a sermon.

She just did the works.

One man. Fifty-eight years. In an industry that eats marriages. No scandal reel, no reality show, no trading up. Just Carl, and a promise kept until death did them part.

She could have built towers in Nashville. Instead she built in the mountains she came from, so the people she came from could work.

Two hundred million books. Given away to children, free, no strings, while the rest of us argued about what to read.

A million dollars for a vaccine in the middle of a plague, and she called it what it was: helping.

She was a feminist who never used the word, a superstar who never left home, and a believer who never made you watch her pray.

"Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works." James 2:18.

We spent years asking whether she was one of ours.

She never asked whether we were one of hers. She was too busy feeding children.

I do not know her heart. That was never my job. I know her works, because the whole county she came from lives on them.

"Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." Matthew 7:20.

You want to honor her today? Put down the tribute post. Put a book in a kid's hands. Stay married. Do the works.

That was the whole sermon. She just never said it out loud.

Did you know?

The original Nokia ringtone, known as the Nokia tune, is derived from a piece of solo guitar music called Gran Vals, composed by Francisco Tárrega in 1902.

Dolly Parton forever ❤️

Praise the Lord! 🙌🏾

As e dey hot, Dr. Olu Emmanuel, a veterinary surgeon and certified solar energy professional, says God gave him an unusual idea, which is to turn the umbrella he carried as a Protocol member into a solar-powered umbrella.

After years of research and development, he created the invention and began the certification process in 2023.

This month, the Standards Organisation of Nigeria officially certified it.

By God’s grace, he says this is the first certified solar-powered umbrella in Nigeria and Africa.
